FEBRUARY 2, 1900.
The Duke of Marlborough may want to demonstrate that even war can be made a pleasure if a personknows how.
Gotham Democrats who hope that Col. Bryan will settle their difference must think the Nebraskan is a magician.
A California minister has left the church because he believes in singing and dancing. What else could he do?
Count Castkllane said that he would slap the face of the editor of the Figaro, and the Atlantic ocean was between them when he said it.
A new JERSEY town talks of declining a library that Andrew Carnegie wants to present it. No doubt the people of that town would prefer something they could use.
Speaking as an undoubted expert, Mr. John D. Rockefeller declares that "it is too late to argue about the advantages of trusts," and that is true. The advantages to Mr. Rockefeller are obvious to the form of $150,000,000 or such a matter. The trouble is that they are not equally obvious to the people who have to contribute the coin.
That grizzly old L,ousiana Democrat, Senator McEnery, voices the public opinion of this country when he says: "I do not stop to inquire now whether my country in the Philippines is right or not; I do not inquire who fired the shot which precipitated hostilities. It is enough for me to know that my government has been assailed, and I will uphold its hands until its enemies are brought into subjection."
It is announced that the kit of a soldier in the London volunteers includes four pair of trousers, four pairs of shoes, three caps a suit of pajamas, a cork mattress, an air pillowa canvas bucket, ditto basin, a box of candles, a lantern, two large Turkish towels,a filter,a clothes brush, a writing portfolio and other domestic articles. The government ought to furnish each soldier with a dinky train of cars.
far as it means permit, to those j land owners interested in the. the care and improvement of lor-' ests and the planting of trees. It is receiving many proofs of in-: creased appreciation of what the' forests of the United States are j worth to the country and of what ; 1 may be done to improved and ex.- j tend them.
A N N O i: X i I KM EN TS.
After centuries of spendthrift abuse of the riches which nature bestowed upon the United States in the form of forests the signs are multiplying that the care of trees, their preservation and the widening or forest areas in sections where there is less than a proper proportion of woods will
soon be given something like
their rightful share of attention by the American people. Fostery
had a distant and indifferent
sound in American ears not
long ago. Now it is deemed a
worthy subject of government
care and private study. The
forestry division of the department
of agricultural is publishing
some very interesting and attrac
tive books on the subject of tree
culture. It is also giving indi
vidua 1 advice and assistance, as
A Reign of Terror. There is not much value placed upon human life in Kentucky, und the tragedy of yesterday accentuates this fact. The reason for it is plain and the politicians are entirely to blame in the mutter. Goebel himself, is the leader and it is not surprising he was chosen for death by the hot heads who dominate political destinies in that distressed commonwealth. The father of au infamous election law, denounced by press and pulpit and public opinion as an outrage, he sought to profit by it to his own advancement, and nearly met his death in consequence. The populace is excited, they know not what next to expect, more bloodshed is sure to follow, and this deplorablo condition is all brought about by an inordinate desire for the spoils of office. This is indeed a sorrowful spectacle of popular government. Whenever a people are compelled to report to firearms and force, popular government ceases and a reign of terror begins It is then time for a stronger force to interfere and bring order out of chaos, in the interest of human ity and for the good of society. The shooting of Goebel is not surprising Jt is deplorable because of its pernicious example, every effort should be made by the anthorities to ferret out the would-be murderer and then punish him, by law, to tit the crime. It is hoped the shooting will have the effect of teaching Goebel that he cannot over-ride the will of the people as expressi d in their ballots, by any law, no matter of whose making. In this connection it seems appropriate to say also that a man who killed another is never afterwards sure of his ow 1 life, not even in the house of his friends. Goebel, who once killed an unarmed man, now lies near death's door, almost
murdered. The law of the old testament seems to carry in Ken tucky at least.

A CRY FROM NATURE.
SECOND DISTRICT AFFAIRS.
Congressman Miers Will be Renominated by His Party.
LOOSE IN MAILS.
Money Sent That Was Never Received, Due to Carelessness.
It seems almost incredible that in the neigh berhood of $40,000 in actual cash should have been con6ded to misdirected letters during the last year, and harder still to credit that the most exhaustive efforts have failed to find the owners of one-fourth of this amount. The envelopes which ara addressed are kept on file for four years, blank ones not so long, but in either case a liberal margin of time is allowed for claimants to appear before the money is finally turned into the
treasury to the credit of the postoffice department. In addition to the money contained in letters during the same period, something like $10,000 was found loose in the mails: It is officially styled "loose money."
A dispatch to the Indianapolis News from Washington says: At this time it looks as if Robert W. Miers, of Bloomington, will be re nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the Second District. Green county has three Democrats who would accept the nomination Editor William M. Moss, Cy E. Davis and W. I. Slinkard. Charles Aiken, of Sullivan, is mentioned. The opposition to Judge Miers, however, has not centered on any individual candidate. It is understood that the Republicans have agreed upon Peter R. Wadsworth, of this city, as their standard bearer. Mr. Wadsworth is chairman of this county, and said to be a shrewd politician and a fine organizer. His father is a Populist of Statt reputation. D. I,. Bonner, of Knox county, a commercial traveler, is also a candidate. He came very near defeating Judge W. R. Gardiner for the Republican nomination two years ago. The Populists will put out a candidate. Two years ago the Populists of the Second District gave 1,200 votes to Elder Trout, for Congress. The Republicai.s are relying on local disaffection agninst Judge Miers. This it is "Republican year," . as they assert, and they hope co carry the district. Miss Nancy Ann Mercer, a well known lady residing a short distance south of Smithville, dieo yesterday afternoon of pneumonia Deceased was 76 years of age am. a sister of Washington Mercer, a well known farmer. She was 1 member of the Christian church The funeral will occur from hei late residence tomorrow at It o'clock.

A Warning That Should be Heeded by Every Sufferer. JSature soon rebels when the human machinery is out of order. Her appeals for help should he quickly answered. Life is too short and dear to us to neglect our health. When the system becomes run down, the blood impure, the liver torpid, nerves all on a quiver, and the stomach refuses to do its work, then nature utters her warning note. It may be a sick headache, nervousness, despepsia, catarrh loss of appetite, insomnia,, lan guor, constipation, but it is nature's signal of distress. The human machine should be attended to without delay. The system needs building op, the impurities must be driven from the blood, the liver made to do its work and the stomack placed in a natural healthy condition. Knox Stomach Tablets are a new combination of vegetable remedies compounded by one of the best chemists in the world; and are guaranteed to build up the whole system. They do not act as a stimulant, but are a sarsapariila in tablet form, containing twice the medicinal properties of any other combination of remedies known. They give health and strength to the entire body and immediately relieve indigestion and positively cure dyspepsia. A single box will prove their power to cure chronic invalids and make them strong, healthy men and women. If unable to secure Knox Stomach Tablets of your druggist, send fifty cents to the Knox Chemical Co,, Battle Creek, Mich., and a full sized package will be sent, postpaid.
